Describe the fluid-mosaic model of a plasma membrane. Discuss the role of the membrane in the movement of materials through it by each of the following processes: a. Active transport b. Passive transport The plasma membrane is a semi permeable barrier that separates the inside of the cell from the outside environment. The plasma membrane is made up of carbohydrates‚ cholesterol‚ proteins‚ and a lipid bilayer‚ or double layer of lipids. The plasma membrane may be known as a fluid mosaic

diabetes cases worldwide has doubled since 1980 and is now at startling 350 million diabetics. (Laino‚ 2011). Diabetes is a lifelong disease in which the level of glucose in the blood is abnormally high. Connected to this is a condition called hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia is the technical term for high blood glucose (sugar). High blood glucose occurs when the body can’t produce sufficient amount of insulin. And also‚ it can happen when the body can’t use insulin properly. (American Diabetes Association
